Bolts & Nuts Corp., a Chattanooga-based industrial distribution firm, has acquired Industrial Fastening of Macon, Ga., to help expand its business in Georgia.
The purchase follows the acquisition last year of U.S. Nut & Bolt in Louisville, and the opening by the distributor of new facilities in the Carolinas, Kentucky and Nebraska over the past three years.
Bolts & Nuts now serves customers in more than 40 states, Mexico and Europe.
“We are excited to broaden our reach for our customers in Georgia, supporting economic development, job creation and contribution to the Macon and Georgia community that is core to the Bolts & Nuts values,” said Mike Strunk, CEO of Bolts & Nuts Corp.
Jim Watson, CEO of Industrial Fastening of Macon, is joining Bolts & Nuts as part of the deal.
